Simple boilerplate for experimenting with the new OpenLayers 5.3.0.

git clone https://github.com/tssmits/20190206openlayers.git

Alternatively you can download the repository.

To properly display everything in your browser, you need to serve the html from an http server. You can spin up a server easily if you have PHP installed:

cd src
php -S localhost:1234

Or Python:

cd src

# python 2
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000

# python 3
python -m http.server 8000

Then visit http:https://localhost:1234 in your favorite browser.

Don't have PHP? No fear! See https://gist.github.com/willurd/5720255 for a list of one-liners that start a static server.

Of course, you can also use your LAMP/XAMPP stack or plain old Apache if you have them installed.

Now you should see a simple map in your browser. Edit src/index.html to change the appearance of the map.
